couple of points:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">1)
The ?53 self test error might be a red herring – I
intermittently get ?53 2 errors on both Windows (Intel) and
Raspbian (pi 3) when starting the VAX emulation under SIMH.
I think it is something to do with the clock test failing,
because the emulation is sufficiently fast that the test
that the clock is advancing fails because it hasn’t yet
ticked during the test. Despite the message saying normal
operation not possible, if you try and boot VMS, it works
fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">2)
I successfully boot my raspberry pi into my VMScluster (boot
node is SimH on Windows) without any faffing with
tun/tap/br. I just ATTACH XQ ETH0, and my Simh satellite
happily boots from XQ. I realise that I might need more
infrastructure if I needed local routing from VAX to host
(without echo from a physical ethernet switch), but for
normal VMS operation in a cluster, it works fine without.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<li>Yes I have observerd that as well.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Indeed. The bridge/tun/tap is only needed when you want to use
a single physical interface on the Pi to accomodate both access
to the virtual simh VAX and to the Raspbian host.For example,
using my setup, I can telnet into the VAXcluster and ssh into
the Raspbian OS rom my Windows laptop (and any other Pi in the 4
node VAXcluster) simulateously.<br>
